Two Valley men were recently arrested and accused of luring a minor for sexual activity in Yavapai County, officials said.

In a statement released Wednesday, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said Mark Maki, of Mesa, and Craig Boening, of Gilbert, told deputies they had met underage females online and planned to meet in person when they were confronted by law enforcement on July 14.

Maki, 62, is accused of initiating contact with a person who he believed to be an underage female and sent pornographic pictures of himself to her on multiple occasions, according to Dwight D'Evelyn, a Sheriff's Office spokesman.

Maki was arrested on suspicion of aggravated luring a minor for sexual exploitation and is being held in Camp Verde Detention Center on a $35,000 bond, D'Evelyn said.

Boening, 41, is being held in Camp Verde Detention Center on suspicion of luring a minor for sexual exploitation, child prostitution and sexual conduct with a minor, D'Evelyn said. Boening's bond was set at $100,000.

According to D'Evelyn, Boening initiated contact with a person he believed to be an underage female and offered money for specific sexual acts.

Boening was arrested in a parking lot in Oak Creek, where he agreed to meet the female, D'Evelyn said.
